The New York Times reports in a recent article how Trump Administration policies have placed the survival of some refugee agencies in the U.S. in jeopardy as the arrival of new refugees dries up.

The Trump administration “has cut the staff that conducts clearance interviews overseas, intensified the screening process for refugees, and for those people it characterizes as high-risk, doubled the number who need to be screened,” write Liz Robbins and Miriam Jordan. “As a result, if the trickle of refugees admitted continues at its current pace, just 20,000 are projected to enter the United States by the end of this year, the lowest figure since the resettlement program was created with passage of the Refugee Act in 1980.”

The State Department “said it expects to fund a smaller number of agencies next year, corresponding to the fewer refugees to be resettled, and the survival of even some of the most-established organizations” is in doubt, the Times reported.
